This is something I've been pondering a lot lately. I have an almost three year old and a 1 year old. I try and think back of my memories and I can only see very tiny flashes of memories from the 2-4 year old range. Something in the brain is going on with self-awareness in that time frame, and it's fascinating. I love watching my son think through things. I can almost see the physical connections in his brain happening before my eyes. So that then begs the question of when exactly are we self-aware? Is it like a light switch where it's off one minute and off the next minute? Or is it like a dimmer switch that slowly kind of ramps up?
